London, Feb. m.?The Pilaueag Ralalanl, heiress to the tliron** nf Hawaii, sailed to tiny lor New-York on Hie sicainer Teutonic. The Maeaaa ls nrcura panied b> Theophilu.-i Davies, lu. xvlfe mid daughter, and by Mis* W ha ri off. Mr. Davie* consented t" p'*r mit tb** i'nited Preaa cm respondent to have an lut'-r riove wit li tne Prificc-.s Ht lils litnne, called Sundown, He>ketli Hark. .onthport, where slit* lias been living. Mr. Dnvir-s is the principal Ritttah aieicbam con noctnd xvitii the Hawaiian islands trade, lie received tho correspondent, and ebgertj Baked for !hc latest news from America. He said ttiat lie Imd lr;id no reply to his recent request to tba cinuBtBstoaera of Li** Provisional Government of Hawaii to delay Hie negotiations until he could Pring tho Prlaceas Killalan! to Hie I'nited Males to plead fr lur righto. He teared, he .aid, that the commissioners arete hurry? ing to complete thc deal lief -re lier arrival, lie xvns oonfldent that If Americans could see Hie Princess, ?who was a simple CbriaUan girl, lier throne xvould be save*!. Mr. Davie, said that he knew Mr. Thurt-ton and the other commissioners Intimately. He had lived In Hawaii himself for years. He and his wife were friends of Ihe parents nf Knltilant, and when Mr. Thurston sent her to England they consented to be? come her guardians. The Princess spent her hoi! days at Sundown ai one ot the lamil**, and tva* treated HU* a daughter. The Princess Kalulanl Is tall and slender, and with a mure thoughtful, di Rilli ate air than might be ex? pected In a sclvool-glrl. Sire 1* a brunette, with tin eyes of a gazelle, and features that suggest just a suspicion of Kanaka origin, she xvns aomewhat ner vou . xvlien Interviewed, she -aid that she had nothing to add Io Ihe appeal which she had addm-ed to Ihe American people, and she expressed her 1 hunks that her appeal hud been forwarded lo Hie American news papers. She had, she said, no tataila plans, but would be guided, by hw guardian, Mr. Davies. She proposed to .spend two days In New-York, and then ta visit Boston, where she xvould remain until after the inauguration of President Cleveland. Then she would go to Washington and would probably moho a personal appeal to Mr. Cleveland. The ITlncess added that she bsd no friends In America except the friends of Mr. Davies. She timidly expressed a hope that she might gain the sympathy of the American people. ?* I cannot sue," she continue... In a modest, he?l tating tone, "why 1 should be luminnrily deprlx*ed of recognized legal rights, for no fault of mine, nnd with? out being even noiiiieil tb appenr in defence of my right*. I a*k only that right of appearance which American law g,ve_ to everybody before he or sb- 1- de prlved of a right. I know absolutely; nothing about this affair, except what has been in ihe newspapers. No notification hu* been received hy me regarding lt." '* What do you think (>f President HorriaOR'a rue-sage urging annexatlonl" asked Hie eenespoadent. '*! prefer not lo express an opinion on the subject," replied the Princess. ** Would you accept a pension or other compensa tlon s_ould Haxvail bo annexed!'' asked the corre tpondent. -As to that, also, I prefer to ?ay nothing." was the reply. Di answer to other question-*, the Princes. said that abe was entirely nppo-.-d to the policy of the Queen, eepeclally In regard lo the bills which the Qaeen I report d to have signed, nnd which gave rise to Offence. The Maeaaa said that .he did not want Haxvail to be under a protectorate of any sort. sh. wished it to be Independent. -She believes that America and Hawaii should tte xvarni friends. She had never _e?_. an English official, and did not believe thnt England xvould lnter.eiv ta Hawaiian affair-. When asked if sh.* would return to England after her prcscii; visit to America, th** Princess answered : "Yes, if I am . uccessful. I 6hall be of age next year, and then I shall curry out my original lntentinn, lor which Ihe Hawaiian Legislature voted -4,0O*?. W-leh was lo vi-lt Queen Victoria, then to visit the President of Uk* United Mates, and then to proceed to Hawaii and u.s.unie the position lo xvhich 1 am en titled." The Princess .aid that she fnvored the proposition made bv Mr. Davies to the Provisional Government of Hawaii, that a Regency should be appointed f"i three years, with R. Ii. Dole. Hie head nf thc Pw visional Government, as IT.-sidciit. th'- Princess to bc Crowned Queen of Hawaii at the termination of th, Regency. Here the ITim-ess excused bereeR on th. ground'of hurry In pocking for tho Journey to Am.il, a. As she arose she said In a pathetic tone, and x-lth sudden spirP : " I want to do all I run for my people, and to bc an hone-t and true leader to them. 1 .-imply xxunt to do mv duty to beloved Hawaii." The Wine*., shook hand, warmly with the cor? respondent, and thanked him ter the'sympathy shown with her canoe, nnd naked him to convey her thanh to the American press for the hearing given h'-r. Th* I*iince?s and her Mends were then photographed In n group in tho conservatory. The party started on the noon train to-dav. aRghted at Bootle mid drove te the steamship dock, where thej boarded the Teutonic Although Hie name of (ht Print.-** was nu the passenger ll-t, her identity wai unknown al Southport and elsewhere. IFF SAYS THK WILD STORY IS UNTRUE. R. C. MACFARLANE PUTS XO CREDENCE IN K. J D. KIMBERLY'S TALE. E. C. Macfarlane, of Honolulu, who ls at the Victoria Hotel, says lhat the story ns lold by a marr at St. Paul, xxho gives his name as K. J. D. Kimberly, of Honolulu, ls romance pure nnd simple. The Ult ls to the effect that Om malia ard Englishmen on tin Islands tried to drive away American guards, and tli.it four of the IU imam were killed, lt was alao said by Mr. Kimberly that the attacking party hm*, ben tinned nt Ma Herman and Kngllsh (on-ulat*-. According to the thrilling story five Americans had also been killed in a street light. " i feel certain that theta 1- a. t lae iRghttat fonnda Ron for sucli a yarn," said Mr. Macfarlane yesterday. "ll the first place. Hie (ierinan Consul, H. F. (Had**. ia one of thc strongest supportei-s of the CTovMoual Government. He l.s as strongly opposed to tho Queen as Mr. Thurston or any of the otl:*-r commissioners. He ls Hie junior partner of the firm of Hnckfeld .x Co., sugar planters, xvho employ a considerable num? ber of the German population. It Is not likely that anybody opposed ta Hie Bluet -donal Govegaaaeat would furnish arms fur Ike purjio... of dlsHnMiig bl own interests, and lt ls a!,..nrd to say t.'ut Glad, took a hand In _ tl-ring up a row as told by Mr. Kimberly.

She kilt kant thal left Honolulu for :-au Francisco was the Monowai, and Minlste; Meena Bent wold on that boat that ail Was quiet at Hawaii."

SENATOB HI8COCK Oil HAWAII. HE DOESN'T THINK THI- SENATE WILL VOTE OX TIIE QUESTION' THIS SESSION. tienotor Frank IlLscock, who xvns nt the Fifth Av, nu Hotel vestd-ay, said he did not believe tho Senate wotUd take a vote tills session on the Hawaiian mott U.U. "The time now ls too short before the close of the session,'' _aid the Senator, "ant as the nuttier has to be d.-i.iiUd, the (jiie-tlon will hardly rc a eh a vol". No fault, however, can be found xvlth thc treaty, ll lao gem, iiuU if lt I- satisfactory to Hie Hawaiian coin missioners, lt certainly should meet with Hie approvai of Hie American people, lhere I*, no r?-a-ou why the mutter should be delny*., und there has not b<*'*n any undue ha-sto In the mutter.

No pi Og real vvas made, however, toward a limitation of debate on the treat) or toward securing a voto.

Only eight days nre left of Hie session, so (hal Hie crush for precedence wIR ba extraordinary, and the treaty can lie kept under rons,tl ?ration only bv a surprising dis? play of disinterestedness and a* coinmodatlun on the part of the managers of Hie appropriation *_ ills. Secretary Foster transmitted today t*, the Com millee- on Foreign RehtUena the formal proposition made to him by Paul Reamonn, the uguit of the ex Queen. Mr. Neumann's proposition ls that the ex Queen he restored to power, or, if Hil* ls Impracticable or Inadvisable and annexation of tire Islands ts neces? sary, that tin* ex Queen receive a pension enmmen suratn with her dignity and tokara. No particular amount of money ls suggested by Mr. Reamonn, but it wu-i learned today that he declared he xvould not be ?attsted with mts Hum .fso.ooo a rear. Mr. Thurston, the cliulrman of thc Hawaiian Com mission, commented this evening on the Bena of Princess Kaltilunl's sailing for this country as follows: "The announcement that Kalala'1. ex-heir apparent to the Hawaiian Ihrone, has left England to (onie to Washington to claim her tlirone, opens a new phase of the Hawaiian question. The situation, to say th* lenst, ls peculiar, in the lirst place th" e.vlsiiti_ Hawaiian Oovernment. with President Dole nt lt* head, ls in full po-ses-.i,,n, and has been olli lally r" ogni/ed by all Hie nations of Uk* xvorld.
